Nothing good ever happens after midnight in a Pontiac. Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga was arrested in Covington, Kentucky after driving a Pontiac Sunfire into a parking meter and a couple of parked cars. Maualuga was charged with drunken driving and reckless driving. It’s the second time in 18 months that a former USC linebacker of Samoan heritage has been found driving drunk in a car unbecoming of a millionaire athlete. [Cincinnati.com via PFT]

Someone has to carry on the great tradition of Bengals getting D.U.I.’s in Covington KY (D.U.I. capital of the world).
err, umm… truth. Friday. Third Scotch.
@Ghost- funny but the trith is he leased it.
@ Otto
Actually, that’s the Sword of a Thousand Truths. It’s normally kept on a flash drive.

As an active member of the black community, I am somewhat disturbed at the recent trend of The Samoan Culture usurping our high-profile stereotypes from superior athleticism to unfavorable treatment by the man.
Nice going, Grimey. Swayze’d.
Ryno, was he at the Hofbrau House? If so, I know where he’s coming from.
Rental Car Agent: Would you like insurance?
Rey: Yeah, you better give me the insurance. Because I’m gonna beat the hell out of this car.

In addition to the other aforementioned character issues at USC, they have now hired serial liar Lane Kiffin.

What do you mean? It’s like a honeymoon suite in large parts of the country.
More embarassing, crashing in a Sunfire or crashing in Kentucky?
Every man should own a second, lesser car for drinking and driving. It’s just common sense.
In Samoa, 40,000 cars, all stolen.
Is he holding the Sword of Destiny in that photo? I heard that comes with a backstory.
Kentucky resident here–I love that every time a Bengal gets arrested, it happens in Kentucky. Nothing good happens in Covington. Ever.
In his defense – the Hoffbrau Haus across the river is a pretty awesome place to black out.
USC has some character issues alright…
Maualuga drinks (and drives a SUNFIRE??)
Sanchez smokes cigarettes
Leinart doesn’t care.
Some teams just turn out guys with character issues. You can take the bad character guys off the Cincinnati Bengals, but they’ll just go to USC to draft some more of them.
Same goes for Baltimore and U of Miami.
I guess his Chevy Cobalt was in the shop.
White chicks and Mainstrasse…I could have told him it was a trap.
@Enrico-
Hell, knowing Mike Brown, it’s probably HIS car.
Knowing what I know about Mike Brown, the Sunfire is probably a company car.
At least he didn’t jump out of the trunk while it was moving…….
Too soon?
Too soon.
I’ll show myself out.
That’s probably the car he drives to his bouncing job at the Double Deuce
Pontiac Sunfire? WTH?
Nothing good ever happens in a Pontiac.
//Fixed that title for you.
Guess he was still driving the “loaner” from the USC booster.
A millionaire in a Sunbird? He’s being framed.
Maybe the Sunfire is analogous to the “frackets” girls wear to frat parties that they don’t mind getting completely ruined after a night of partying and vomit. Guy probably goes through 2 or 3 Sunfires a week during the offseason. That’s some smarts there.
